[thelist] My chat with Network Solutions

[Bev Corwin]

Dear Steve,

One good friend recommends www.dotster.com .... and another good friend
likes: www.domaindirect.com

Both are reported to be reliable and affordable.

I was particularly impressed with the account management system in place at
DomainDirect.   I was able to make a DNS change and the changes were up and
working in 48 hours.  Also,  to change a registrant is amazingly simpler and
far far less expensive than NetworkSolutions.

Sincerely,
Bev
